Hello, did anyone apply for their parent’s visit visa without attaching Airbnb booking? I live in a shared house. Was anyone in a similar situation? And how did you tackle the issue of accommodation?


My mom will stay with her sister but I do not want to include my aunt in the application. I’m trying not to add too many variables

Hello, my brother recently invited my mum, he shares his flat with a colleague, both their names were in the tenancy agreement submitted and she got her visa.

Hello guys,
I applied for 2yrs visa on june 2023 and was denied, and i reapplied for 6months visa on August 2023 and was also denied. On same August i submitted an appeal for a review, this morning i got a message from sheffield saying that the decision to refuse my visa has been overturned, that i should submit my passport to the visa application center.
I use to live in Mauritius, but I'm currently in SA, my question is can i send my passport to the VAC here in SA, VAC Kenya or must i send my passport to the VAC in Mauritius.
My last UK visa was processed in Johannesburg, while the previous two denials my passport was sent to Kenya because Mauritius doesn't have UK embassy.

Please can you inform on how you went about the appeal process. I have someone in a similar situation, his visa was refused a second time and from the reason stated it's obvious his application was not treated on it's merit.

Normally Visitors visa has no right to appeal and administrative review, browse through UK government website, navigate to complaint and send in your complain. If they see it as a serious case, it will undergo investigation.
Make sure you debate and query those paragraphs on which the VO resfused ur application.

Guys any one that need help in obtaining any documents concerning his visa application e g flight reservation,hotel reservation, travel health insurance, appointment booking , writing of SOP etc can also contact me for help

I wish and pray that our aim of travelling to UK or other countries workz out this

@iamnlia
So apparently it's not an issue and has worked out for a couple of people. https://realikechukwu.com/2021/03/01/applying-for-a-uk-visa/
(Sample cover letter is down the blog)

Visitors visa approved for my mum. Biometrics was done on 19th of June and passport was delivered yesterday.
Reason for visit is to attend my graduation, I sent 3million to her account in Dec and told her not to spend below the amount. We printed her statement of account from the day I sent the money showing that she received the money from me and she explained in her introduction letter that I sent her the money to process her traveling. She also explained reason for lump sum that entered her account.

I also wrote a letter saying I sent her the money to use for her visit visa and attached receipt of transfer. I didn’t bother to submit my statement of account since she was sponsoring herself with the money I sent.

Other documents provided includes:
Payslips, employment letter
Statement of account from Dec
Properties documents
Birth certificate of her children
Proof of my accommodation where she will be staying
Flight reservation receipt
Pictures she snapped with the family
Her day to day activities while in the UK ( I wrote that she will be spending 10days)
Leave letter from her employer

@ bassie1
(1) Is your mum travel before?
(2) how much did ur mum said she will spend for the trip?

Hello great minds.
Thank you all for the wealth of knowledge shared and the assistance offered on this platform.
I need a clarification on the aspect of my visa application.
I am marri ded and employed and want to visit the UK. I have a friend in the UK that I will stay in her house and she will provide feeding as well. The house belongs to her.
She is a British citizen.
I will however be footing my flight ticket fare.
Does it mean that she is my sponsor?
What documents does she need to give me since she will provide food and accommodation for me?

Will starting that she will feed and accommodate me affect my application adversely?

I have had 2 previous denials in 2018 due to the huge amount of funds in my account even though I did a cover note stating that I have worked for more than 14 years and I earn well.

Hello everyone, please I will be grateful if my questions and concerns are treated here.
So the issue is when I wanted to book a date for my IELTS test, i used the IDP app. It was having some issues but after some time, i was able to pay for the test. I didn't get a confirmation mail until about 2 days later and there was no mention of the test i paid for. Fast forward to a day before the test, a reminder was sent and that was where i saw that i had been accidentally booked for the IELTS ACADEMIC instead of general for UKVI. I tried to change it but they said it was too late and i had no other option but to write it and i made a band 8.
Now to the crux of the matter and my question, can i use this my IELTS ACADEMIC result to apply for a skilled worker Visa? I have done my tb test and I have my police clearance certificate. I also informed the company that wants to employ me that I wrote the IELTS ACADEMIC and not general test for UKVI and they said that's not a problem and they are ok with it since I made a band 8. I'm just worried. Do you think I should just write another one or I should go ahead and apply for the Visa with this result? I don't want to waste the Visa fee only to get rejected because of this small mistake. Please advise. Thank you

Hello fam, good evening.

My mum wants to apply for visit visa for bro's graduation. She is a government teacher earning about 131k monthly, they don't issue payslip but she has collected a letter from her school regarding this. Checking her salary account just now, I can see that she had other deposits asides from her main salary e.g ogun state government sent her palliative and leave bonus and other money entered her account but each of them are not more than 57k. Does she need to declare this? Because her total credits for the 6 months is 1.08m which is more than 131k*6 months.

Other First world Countries would help - Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, and the US

Try Italy. The visa process is not too stressful.
